I have talked to someone that has put two wireless lan cards into a
laptop, from what he was saying he had no problems with the set up.  I
was surprised he could do it physically but he told me he had a
wavelan card and a cisco card (the cisco does not have the lump at the
end) so they physically fitted into the pcmcia slots.

Given this, I would not totally discount the idea.  Perhaps instead of
going full duplex you could just trunk the interfaces together and let
the trunk driver load balance the packets for you?
